Trigger for a 6mmARC? Will be used for hunting and learning to dope the wind

What trigger for a 6mmARC? Will be used for hunting and learning to dope the wind.

AR-15, 20” barrel. Practice gun and more.

looking for a good drop in that won’t break the bank.

I like the Geissele Hi-Speed National Match two stage for ARs. I have one in a 6mm ARC that I am finishing up. The SSA-E is also good too.

I like light triggers and have the national match in my multi gun rifle. I felt the need to increase the pull weight slightly for multi gun.

Larue MBT-2S

+1 for the LaRue 2 stage....NOT the single stage.

For an inexpensive drop in style trigger CMC and Rise Armament are pretty good. I have a 2.5lb CMC on one 6 ARC and a TT Diamond on the other.

TT Diamond on a bolt gun? Details?

I thought the OP is talking about triggers for his AR, so the TT is on an 6 ARC AR.

I'm the OP (and USAF Retired, as well).

When I googled TT Diamond i came up with a rem 700 trigger. Tried again, found it.

Larue MBT-2S

This would be my choice. Excellent "all-around" trigger.

The Geisselle is nice but pricey for what it is.

SSA-E

 

[YotaEer]

Larue 2 stage is the best I’ve tried.

 

[MPDS13]

I will have to echo a few listed above. For a little more budget friendly option. You cannot beat the Larue MBT 2stage. But I prefer the Geissele SSA-E in most of my ARs, with my DMR gun running the Geissele National Match and my long range precision AR running the Trigger Tech Diamond 2 stage.

Geissele SSA for me or the or the G2S. I don’t like the super light triggers 4-4.5lb is good for me.

Giessele does not make a drop in trigger for the AR platform.

I also use a Triggertech diamond. I like the adjustable weight so I can play with it depending on the season I’m hunting and gloves/no gloves ect. Been using it almost a year now and very happy with it

I have used the ALG QMS, Geissele SSA, SSA-E, LaRue MBT-2S, and a Triggertech Competitive Special (3.5 lb) flat-faced trigger.

I have an ALG QMS in my AR pistol, and it's a good single stage trigger. I've used the ACT in my brother's gun and that's probably the sweet spot if you like single-stage triggers if you swap in a lighter spring (he has a JP Yellow, I believe).

The MBT-2S is my go-to for just about everything these days. I love the fat face, smooth first-stage, consistent break, and VERY positive reset, At under $100, it's the best value 2-Stage trigger out there (avoid the single stage from what I've heard). It's hard to justify the ALG single stage triggers when these LaRue 2 stage triggers are so good for not much more $$$.

The SSA was great, but I sold it to buy 2 more LaRue MBT-2S triggers. The SSA was a little lighter and I'd give it a slight edge over the MBT-2S for overall feel, but when you factor in the price tag, the MBT-2S is about 90% as good for ~40% of the cost.

The SSA-E is definitely a step above the MBT-2S and SSA, and is a fantastic trigger if you can find it on sale. If you only have one gun, the SSA-E or SD-E (SSA-E with a flat face) are great options. If you have a bunch of rifles that need good triggers, the price adds up quickly...

After trying the Triggertech Competitive 3.5 lb trigger, I'm blown away at how crisp the break is & how fast the reset it is. It has a very short first stage compared to the others, which took some time for me to adjust to, but I find myself really impressed by this thing. I think 3.5 lbs is the sweet spot for my uses, but I definitely have their Diamond adjustable trigger on my wishlist for my 6.5 Creedmoor bench-rest rifle. I've heard it's darn near perfect.

I'm very happy with my Geissele SSA-E. I think if I bought a new trigger, I would get the SD-E, as I like the flat bow better.

I can't imagine there is much, if anything, better than Geissele.

I have migrated almost 100% to Geissele NM/Match setups in all of my AR’s, but wanted to try an SD/E and after lube, slight adjustment to 1st stage and a short break in, am quite pleased with performance on a multi-purpose precision 6.5CM. Not certain if it stays in place vs NM/M, but no functional issues that would dictate its return.

Are you guys able to use the lighter spring that come with the trigger? I have two of these in ARs and the lighter spring makes the trigger reset too slow. Seems like its much too weak.

All I use is the light spring. I have not noticed a slow reset, but I use them in SAPR style rifles and am not shooting as fast as possible.
